New Haden

New Haden Colliery was acquired by John Slater in 1917 and became part of his Berry Hill group in 1922. A brickworks was opened at New Haden to use clay worked from measures adjacent to the Little Dilhorne seam at the colliery. It was still operating in 1947 although the colliery had closed in 1943. I suspect that by then the works was using pit shale from the tips as a raw material.
